What is a Baby Nurse?
Baby Whisperers, LLC staffs registered nurses. Baby registered nurses have a RN degree and have experience as either pediatric or neonatal nurses within hospitals or outpatient centers and have taken their expertise into a home after the baby’s birth. This means he/she has a college degree, passed the board of nursing exam (NCLEX), and holds an active nursing license in one or more states. Baby nurses can help with everything that a Newborn Care Specialist or night nurse does, with more expertise and emphasis on education and lactation assistance.
​
Most baby nurses have worked in hospitals, so they have more comprehensive experience in assessing and identifying medical issues or concerns. A baby nurse’s goal is to educate and empower the family to transition to family care or nanny care after their term is complete. Baby nurses are a beautiful blend of being college educated, experience and expertise, responsible, and having a love for babies and children.

Something important to note: the term “baby nurse” is inaccurately a catch-all. People tend to use baby nurse interchangeably with nanny, newborn care specialist, night nurse, etc. However, it is important to understand the difference. Not every person calling herself a baby nurse is an actual nurse, and this is something you will want to clarify before hiring someone to care for your child (we do this for you). For a more in-depth explanation on the types of caregivers, look at our blog post here about differences between nannies, baby nurses, and newborn care specialists!
